We champion organic gardening in workplaces and communities through projects, training, and events throughout the UK.

Feel inspired and more confident to get composting
Be able to apply effective composting processes
Confident enthusing and supporting others to compost

You will receive a certificate on completion of the course.

We anticipate that most participants will have prior horticultural experience; therefore, we will provide the knowledge & support to encourage effective composting in a range of settings, and ways to encourage clients to adopt composting. The session will include a combination of classroom based and practical learning activities utilising our on-site training garden and compost facilities.

We will cover the following topics

The environmental and social benefits of composting
The components of successful composting & which materials to compost
The different types of compost bins & methods
The importance and function of biological life within the compost bin
Engaging others in the compost process including troubleshooting and FAQs
